Dr Bryan C Mendelson.

FRCSE FRACS FACS.

Dr Bryan Mendelson has given over 100 presentations to plastic surgery colleagues around the world. He has developed a global audience keen to learn the results of his 25 years of original research into facial anatomy and the pathogenesis of facial ageing.

He has performed live surgical demonstrations of the limited dissection composite facelift in: London, Calgary, Cologne, Madrid, Milan, Dallas, Istanbul, Moscow, Bangkok, Brazil, Australia, Italy and Taiwan.

His pre-eminence in the field of aesthetic plastic surgery has been recognised with numerous awards and accolades. Dr Mendelson is a past President of ISAPS, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and is a founder and Head of Faculty of the Melbourne Advanced Facial Anatomy Course (MAFAC).

M A F A C.

Dr Mendelson is one of the founding members of the Melbourne Advanced Facial Anatomy Course.

MAFAC has been developed specifically for practicing Plastic Surgeons or Plastic Surgery Trainees in their final year, to advance their understanding of facial anatomy to the level where they can comfortably and safely incorporate the benefits of recent advances into their clinical practice.

The Melbourne Advanced Facial Anatomy Course is based around a tightly structured, two day dissection program focused on maximising surgeons ‘learning through hands on experience’. Participants readily understand the facial layers, the important facial nerve relationships and their applications, using the surgical quality cadavers at the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons with direction from the experienced Faculty.
